As we have previously mentioned, the anime adaptation of the Bocchi the Rock! It is shaping up to be one of the most popular series of the Fall-2022 (October-December) season , not only due to its spectacular animation, but also because it has transported many fans back in time. The combination of stories from life and music, what does it remind you of? Well, many have been reminded of K-On!, and that has been a pleasant surprise.
Maybe that's why the YouTube channel “ LEoaY Anime ” made a special video combining Bocchi the Rock! (episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) with K-On! (episodes 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 23). However, something that we must point out is that there is a difference of more than thirteen years between the premieres of both series , so it is clear that the coupling will be somewhat strange in the final product.
In short, the video attracted a multitude of comments, highlighting:
- " I can only imagine the amount of distance Bocchi would keep away from the K-On! group, since all they do is socialize ."
- « Two masterpieces finally meet! ».
- « It's been 13 years since K-On! aired for the first time. So maybe if they're in the same universe, K-On! is now a popular rock band? Maybe they will meet soon? ».
- « They really work well together. I would swear that Bocchi the Rock! was created to fill the void that K-On! left many. They share many similarities and some things are changed. For example, Yui didn't know how to play, but she was sociable while Hitori knew how to play, but she wasn't sociable; and in some things they are the same ».
- « I'll say it again Bocchi the Rock! it's literally the K-On! of this generation, and I am very glad that this video exists ».
- « The best crossover in the history of the waifuleras of musical bands ».
- « Another blessing from YouTube in recommending this video to me ».
- « Oh man, your editing is so good! Keep it up brother! ».
- « If you think about it, Yui would be an adult in the Bocchi timeline ».
- « A crossover that we did not ask for but that we needed ».
By the way, did you know that Paukshop combined the opening sequence of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners with the Bocchi the Rock theme! ? The result was spectacular.
Synopsis of Bocchi the Rock!
Longing to make friends and perform live with a band, the reclusive and socially anxious Hitori “Bocchi” Gotou spends her time playing the guitar. One fateful day, Bocchi meets outgoing drummer Nijika Ijichi, who invites her to join the band Kessoku when her guitarist, Ikuyo Kita, runs away before her first concert. Soon after, Bocchi meets her latest bandmate, the genius bassist Ryou Yamada.
Although their first performance together isn't great, the girls are strengthened by their shared love of music, and are soon reunited with Kita. Finding happiness in acting, Bocchi and her bandmates set their hearts on improving as musicians while making the most of their fleeting high school days.
